By runners, for runners
The annual Geelong Half Marathon takes place on a fast, scenic course around the beautiful Barwon River in Geelong. Our 5 km Run is ideal for those looking for a shorter challenge.
We pride ourselves on running a well-organised, friendly and affordable event over a fast course.
We cap entry numbers to limit congestion on the course, at toilets and drink stations, and for parking.
As well as being the Geelong Cross Country Club’s annual fundraiser, your entry fees directly support Geelong’s University Hospital, particularly the Andrew Love Cancer Centre. Thanks to your support, we donated $23,000 in 2026.
The Geelong Half Marathon is run along the beautiful Barwon River, from Belmont to Breakwater and then up to Fyansford and back to Belmont.
We acknowledge the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land where we run. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present.
